THONET chair, cantilever with armrests • S 64 V programme, Edition Herkner
The cantilever S 32 and its armrest variant S 64 are the best-known tubular steel classics. Marcel Breuer designed them in 1928 while living in Berlin. Their versatility keeps them among the best-selling cantilever chairs to this day, as they suit uncompromisingly modern interiors just as well as an eclectic mix of different eras. Part of the appeal of these tubular steel icons lies in the attractive combination of new and proven: bentwood with airy Viennese cane weave for seat and backrest embodies Thonet tradition, while the tubular steel frame, revolutionary at the time, stands for the present and future. Thonet has produced both models since 1930. Their aesthetic reduction and clarity mean the classics suit environments as varied as conference rooms, waiting areas, restaurants and homes. The programme is extended by the swivel chair variants S 64 Atelier (VDR) and the bar stool S 32 VH.
For the Edition Herkner, Sebastian Herkner has recoloured the classic: the tubular steel frame is matt powder-coated, the bentwood oak frame is stained to match, and the seat and back feature DARK MELANGE cane weave. The edition is available in five colourways: Chestnut, Amber, Rosewood, Sage and Black. Glides in POM plastic or felt are included.
